The Principality of Gracca is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archduchess Sylvaria Zi Randgriz with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.125 billion Graccans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Graccan economy, worth a remarkable 1,934 trillion G-Bills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 191,106 G-Bills, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 601,175 per year while the poor average 46,482, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gracca's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Graccanism.

Gracca is ranked 21,439th in the world and 443rd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.91 Effective Tax Rate.
